City plans hydrant flushing

The City of LeMars Water Department will be flushing hydrants on Tuesday.

They will start at 8 a.m. and end at 3:15 p.m. if applicable.

The flushing will begin in the southwest part of town starting Tuesday. The city will also be flushing on Wednesday and Thursday in that southwest region.

Please refrain from washing clothes in these areas during flushing times. If you experience discolored water refrain from using your hot water until the water is clear outside at the hose bib. This will tell you the water coming into your home or business is clear. It could take some time to see it clear up inside the home or business.

"Thank you for your cooperation on this matter," said Gayle Sitzmann, water superintendent.

If you have questions call the Water Dept. at 546-5555 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or city hall at 546-7018 until 5 p.m.
